Red Reflection

Coloured pencil

Everyday Matters 293, something made of glass.
This red vase sits on a small table near the window. Most afternoons the sun shines directly on the vase for about an hour leaving a wonderful red reflection/shadow on the tablecloth. I've often thought I need to draw or paint that, so here it is!

I love the beautiful colors and the simple composition. You've captured the reflected shadows perfectly. It reminds me of a few of the beautiful things on my own window sill that some mornings capture the morning light in the most sublime way...and i think, wow..I need to paint that.
